]]>Abu Huraira narrated that Rasoolullahﷺ said, “A man set out to visit his brother from another town, so Allahﷻ‎ sent an angel to watch over his steps. When the angel came to him, he said: Where are you going? The man said: I am visiting a brother of mine in this town. The angel said: Do you have a favor over him to be repaid? He said: No, only that I love him for the sake of Allahﷻ‎. The angel said: I am a messenger from Allahﷻ‎ to tell you that Allahﷻ‎ loves you as you love him.”

Say: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your wives, your kindred, the wealth that you have gained, the commerce in which you fear a decline, and the dwellings in which you delight are dearer to you than Allah and His Messenger, and striving hard and fighting in His Cause, then wait until Allah brings about His Decision (torment). And Allah guides not the people who are Al-Fasiqun (the rebellious, disobedient to Allah). [Surah Tawba(24)]

And (remember) the Day when the Zalim (wrong-doer, oppressor, polytheist, etc.) will bite at his hands, he will say: “Oh! Would that I had taken a path with the Messenger (Muhammad SAW). (27)“Ah! Woe to me! Would that I had never taken so-and-so as a friend!(28)“He indeed led me astray from the Reminder (this Quran) after it had come to me. And Shaitan (Satan) is ever a deserter to man in the hour of need.” (29) [Surah Al-Furqan]

]]>The Arabic word ‘Aashoora’ is based on ‘Ashr, which means ten. Hence, as a religious term, ‘Aashoorah stands for the 10th Muharram. It used to be known as one of the most sacred and greatest days even in the pre-Islamic Arabia.(1) It was the day of ‘Aashoorah only, wherein Allah annihilated the Pharaoh and his army and freed the followers of Moosa a.s. from their cruelties.(2)”Muslim scholars” further say that it was this great day, when the followers of Nooh a.s. were saved from drowning in the devastating flood and their divinely-protected ark navigated them to a safer place on mount Joodi.(3) Thanks to these and other similar reasons, people in the Pre-Islamic Arabia used to observe a fast and change the curtain of Ka`bah on this day only.(4)

Some brothers say that fasting on this great day started after the noble Prophet`s migration to Madeenah. Moreover, it began when he came to know the significance of 10th Muharram from the local Jews, who used to fast on ‘Aashoorah Day.(5) Such a claim is absurd because authentic Ahaadees do tell us that Rasoolullaah was well aware of its importance long before he saw the Jews in Madeenah fasting on ‘Aashoora Day. He was not only aware of its significance but also used to fast on this day, long before he migrated to Madeenah. His wife, Sayyidatuna ‘Ayshaa r.a. reports: “…Nabee Kareem used to fast on ‘Aashoora, during his life in Makkah. He had even declared fasting on this Day to be obligatory. However, after the migration, when the Ramazaan’s fasting was declared obligatory, fasting on 10th Muharram, became optional.(6)” This authentic Hadees clearly dispels the misunderstanding of those who claim that Rasoolullaah started fasting on ‘Aashoora after learning its importance from the Jews of Madeenah. Had this been true, he would not have fasted in Makkah before his migration.

From the preceding paragraph, we also learnt that Rasoolullaah observed the ‘Aashoorah fast throughout his Prophetic life. This detail clearly shows that the significance of this Day has nothing to do with the martyrdom of Sayyiduna Husain r.a, who was one of the two honorable grandsons of the noble Prophet. It is a coincidence that he and a number of his esteemed family members were assassinated (on ‘Aashoora Day) in Karbala of the then Iraq. Anyway, importance of ‘Aashoorah in Islam has nothing to do with his martyrdom. Even he (Sayyiduna Husain r.a.) used to fast on this day during his life.

Anyway, its significance is clear by the fact that during his blessed life, Rasoolullaah fasted during this day. His cousin, S. Ibn ‘Abbaas reports: “…after the fasts of Ramazaanul Mubaarak and`Arafah, it was the day of ‘Aashoorah (10th Muharram) in which the noble Prophet used to fast, eagerly and regularly.”(7) Moreover, he used to encourage Muslims as well to voluntarily observe a fast on this occasion, saying: “…I sincerely expect from Allaah that He will forgive the minor sins (committed during the last year) of those Muslims who fast on the 10th of Muharram.(8)

Before wrapping up, let me quote today’s final (but very important) Hadees Shareef. Reporting it, Sayyiduna Ibn ‘Abbaas r.a. says: “Rasoolullaah used to observe fast on the day of `Aashoorah and he used to command Muslims to fast as well. Once, they asked, ‘Yaa Rasoolallaah! the Jews deeply honor the Aashoorah day, by observing one fast in it.’ Shouldn’t we be different from them on this issue? Hearing it, the noble Prophet said, ‘If I live to see the next year, we will in sha Allaah, observe one more fast, along with the `Aashoorah one. However, before the arrival of next year`s Aashoorah, Allaah`s Messenger had passed away.”(9)

Although observing only one fast on the Day of ‘Aashoorah is permissible, however due to the preceding Hadees Shareef, the religious scholars recommend that we should observe an additional fast, either one day before it or one day after it. Coming Saturday is the ‘Aashoorah Day, the 10th of Muharram here in U.A.E. So, we can observe this additional fast either tomorrow or on coming Sunday. May Allaah guide us all to fast on this great day, Aameen Yaa Rabbal ‘Aalameen.

While, the correct understanding is quite hard, without studying ALL the subject related Ahaadees, which are recorded in the other authentic books on Hadees literature.

(10) Muslims in Indian subcontinent follow several restrictions concerning the diet, marriage and self-grooming on this day. All these restrictions are self-imposed because no valid Shari’ah evidence demands them. Sadly, various questionable messages (related with ‘Aashoorah’) are in circulation on WhatsApp, Facebook etc. Describing its importance, they claim that

1. It was the day of ‘Aashoorah, in which Aadam a.s. was created,

2. His repentance was accepted by Allaah,

3. Ibraaheem a.s. was born,

4. Qiyaamat will take place,

5. Whoever takes bath on this day will never get ill,

6. Whoever spends generously on his family on this day, will be blessed in his earnings etc.

The research scholars on Hadees literature, state that nothing from these half dozen claims, is mentioned in the noble Qur’aan or in the correctly reported Prophetic Ahaadees. So we should not believe in them. http://www.denana.com/main/articles.aspx?selected_article_no=11929

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik (رضي الله عنه) reports that Rasulullahﷺ arrived in Madinah when I was a young eight-year-old. My Mother took me by my hand to him and said: “O Messenger of Allah, every man and woman of Madinah has presented you with a gift. I have nothing else to offer besides this child of mine. Please accept him as your servant for all your needs.”

I served the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for ten years. During this time he never beat me, abused or even scolded me. He never even gave me an angry look.

The first advice he gave me was:

“O my son! Keep my secrets confidential, and you will become a true believer”

Sayyiduna Anas (رضي الله عنه) says: “I never disclosed the secrets of Rasulullahﷺ to anyone, despite the requests of my mother and the wives of Rasulullahﷺ.”

He also told me: “O my son! Be thorough in your wudu and the two angels (who are recording your deeds) will love you. Your life will also be increased.

O Anas! Ensure that you bathe from Janabat (the obligatory bath) properly, if you do so all sins and evil will leave you.”

Sayiduna Anas (رضي الله عنه) enquired: “How do I do that?”

Rasulullahﷺ said: “wet the roots of the hair and clean/rub the skin”

O my Son! If you can, then remain in the state of wudu continuously, for if death comes to someone in the state of wudu, he acquires Shahdah (martyrdom)

O my son! If you have the ability to constantly send Durood (Salat was Salaam) upon me then do so, the angels will beg Allah to forgive you.

O my son! Try to offer some (nafl) salah in your home too.[1]

O Anas! When you make ruku ensure that you spread your fingers apart while grasping your knees, and that you keep your elbows away from your body.

O my Son! When you raise your head from ruku allow all your limbs to settle in their original positions. Allah will not look on the day of Judgement towards the one who doesn’t straighten his back when rising up from Ruku.

O my son! When you make Sajdah, place your head and palms firmly on the ground. Do not make Sajdah (hastily) like the pecking of a rooster. Do not sit (in Salah) like a fox or a dog squats.

Refrain from turning about in Salah, as this is destruction.

O my son! If when you leave your house, you make salam to whichever Muslim you see, you will return home forgiven.

Also keep in mind that every other Muslim is better than you.[2]

O my son! Whenever you enter your house, say As salaamu alaikum and Salaam to your family. [this will be a source of Barakah- blessing- for you and them][3]

O my Son! If you are able to spend your day and night without having malice for anybody in your heart, then do so as this will make your hisab (accountability in the court of Allah) easy.

O my son! This is my sunnah. Whoever revives/ loves my sunnah loves me, and will be with me in Jannah. [4]

O my son! If you follow my advice, there will be nothing more beloved to you than death.”
